Brain Research and Childhood Education provides teacher educators,
education students (both in regular and special education
programs), school psychologists, practicing teachers, and school
leaders with a brief, readable distillation of the most up-to-date
research on brain development and how it relates to optimum
teaching practice in childhood and adolescence. This accessible
reference uses cases to further illustrate how studies on brain
development and various learning processes have implications for
educators and psychologists as they strive to enhance children's
cognitive, social, emotional, and academic learning opportunities.
Brain Research in Education and the Social Sciences: Implications
for Practice, Parenting, and Future Society provides practitioners,
parents, and policy makers with research-based information and
illustrative case studies about brain development across the
lifespan. Neurotechnological advances that are contributing to a
broader understanding of brain development and brain illnesses are
discussed in a context specifically relevant to those working in
education and the social sciences. The book enables readers to
understand the societal implications of this expanding knowledge
base and offers suggestions for future policies and practices that
would make high-quality learning environments available to all
students and individuals receiving care.

What are the Green alternatives to economic globalisation? Written
by leader of the Green Party, Caroline Lucas, this manifesto argues
that globalisation increases poverty, undermines democracy, and
destroys the environment, the authors demonstrate the urgent need
for a new approach - economic localisation - that is based on the
Green principles of equity, ecology and democracy. Applying their
thesis to current international crises, including climate change,
trade and development, agriculture, and international security, we
see how economic localisation could be adopted and applied to
positive ends.
